What Hiking?

Saturday is the kind of day that people will sleep in till brunch time. Or at least for me it is.

I don't know why I go and agree with Koay that I will join them to hike to Kerachut. No idea why. 

That morning when I had to wake up at 6am, I regretted it so badly that when Koay called, I kinda wanted to tell him that I was going to ppk him. Then, it rained! *cheers silently inside*

Then, the rain stopped. So, after breakfast, we made our way to Teluk Bahang and there it was. THE BLACK BIG PIECE OF RAINING CLOUD. I was the happiest girl that morning. 

We ended up going to a hidden waterfall that my family used to go. Still so pretty. 


Standing at this waterfall brings so many wonderful memories. All those fun times with my relatives. We would pack nasi lemak/nasi kandar and makan there while being soaked in those iced cold fresh water. Those were the days. So fun! 


He wanted to make sure the it's not too slippery for me to go there since I was holding my Goldii. Or maybe the inner boy in him got too excited and wants to go play first. Haha.

Because I was so sleepy and reluctant to leave my bed in the morning, I didn't bring anything extra. So, cannot play water although Koay did brought a few t-shirts. Still, no extra pants. 


But since we were already there, we spent some time just soaking our feet in those cold water. SOOOO NICE OKAY! 

That waterfall place now looks like it's being guarded or something. There were like 2 houses in front, so I'm not sure if we're allowed to go there next time, with our packed nasi kandar. Next time means I sure get myself all wet and play water like I was 10 years old again. 

Hopefully can.


Time to go makan :)

Till next time, you pretty waterfall.

Lunch, we decided to tapau Malay rice and eat it at the beach behind Lone Pine Resort. Double date on a budget :)

Things he like to do.. quite cute. At the end of it, he like very proud nia. It's just chasing away the birds, bro.. 



After that, we wanted to watch a movie at TGV Paragon Mall since they have promo for only RM5 for movies before 12pm.. Manatua, for new movies, it's RM13 so we decided do something else. Haha. 

Wall-Climbing! 



But not all of us. Only Jack went up on different kind of surface eh. Got barrel one sumore. Before that, we went to Shojikiya and got this green tea wafer ice cream first. 

SO YUMMY YOU HAVE NO IDEA.

It was quite a good Saturday despite the lack of sleep.

New Email Address.

Every now and then, you've gotta change things up a bit so that life gets more interesting.

Well, the decision to change my email address wasn't a sudden one for sure. Changing an email address has soooo many cons and probably only one pro. For my case at least.

Making sure I update the new email address in my banks, Groupon (haha!), social medias, Nandos and don't know where else, tick.

Send 'email alert' to all my contacts in sarahkutu, tick.

I will not have anyone giving me that kind of look anymore when I spell out my email, s a r a h k u t u.., tick.

People always repeat, "Kutu as in kutu?" 

I will always smile and nod confidently. No more this question of shame! Haha.

I don't know what was wrong with me when I created this email address. Walauuu. 

My first one was created by my dad, sarahkhoo88@hotmail.com. I was like 12 years old or something. 

So yeah, my third and newest email address is sarahkhooyw@gmail.com.

Feel free to email me here if you need to you know tell me about stuff or something..

Photo of Poop.

I don't think anyone has any idea how many of poop photo I have in my camera roll album.

All from him.

Whenever his poop doesn't look like the normal ones, whether in size or color, for sure whatsapp got notification.

Most recent one was just yesterday. 

I drove to his office to fetch him for breakfast before work starts. He rushed into his office 2 minutes before I arrive and told me, he needed to go do number 2.

I was playing candy crush while waiting in the car and then I received a whatsapp message. 

Yep, you guessed it right. A photo of his dark long poop in the toilet bowl. Also, to let me know he's done with business and on his way down.

What have I gotten myself into seriously?

I'm sorry I cannot post any of his collection here. It's too disgusting and mind-disturbing. 

Actually, I should have saved all the images he sent to me. I can compile them, have them printed on a photobook and give him for his birthday present. Aiyahhhh! Why I never thought of it before!

Nine Notifications.

Since I don't really have anything specific to blog about, I shall just do some quick updates of every little things that has been happening.

1. Hairy Legs.

"You! It's your fault that my arms and legs are so hairy!"

I told my dad long time ago. 

Seriously! Where got girls with so much hair on their arms and legs eh? I mean chinese girls and no, I wasn't being racist or anything. It's just facts lah. So, please DO NOT get offended :)

Anyways, this is no joke business okay. One of the things I hate doing but die die also have to do is removing hair from my legs. I don't shave them because it's too dangerous. Hah. I use Veet shower cream, which is troublesome. Actually not really but anything to do with removing hair is troublesome. 

Sometimes, I prefer plucking them. A bit painful but I kinda like it better. No need use cream all. 

Oh, and the leg in the photo is not mine. I hope you actually knew that!

2. Roadtrip.
I drove all the way to Sungai Petani with my manager the other day and met up with another soon-to-be-ex-colleague. We visited 6 corporate, big and small. For lunch, we went to this food court and they have like sooo many things to eat. We ended up having this special curry mee. The soup tastes like our normal curry mee (prolly slightly better) and they serve the noodles with fish meat! TWO HUGE PIECES OF FRESH FISH MEAT. It's not those kind cheap cheap eh fish okay. It's good stuff, really. 

That was my first time trying and ever since then, I find myself craving for it so much more. To the point I try convincing Koay to go on weekends just to have the curry mee. 


3. Food-Blog.

Speaking of food now, I might as well talk about our 2years1month1week2days' old blog. I think for the entire month of March, we hardly did anything. Not because we no longer have the passion but more so that we both didn't even have time go for a proper meal together. 

I'm actually quite thankful that March is over. One more sleep to the fourth month, yes!

4. Lor Mee.
Appetite going haywire lately. I am never a big fan of lor mee. I can have them for snack time and stuff but never really for a main meal, be it lunch or dinner or even breakfast (which I just had this morning!).

But now, I find myself wanting to go places famous for lor mee. What has gotten into me i wonder..

Every season sure got new crave.

5. Birthdays.

It's funny to see how much effort/money/time is used to plan a baby's birthday. A one-year-old baby. She won't even have any memory of her first birthday, but I do think that this celebration is more for the parents. I don't even remember my first 5 birthdays. 

So difficult to choose the "right" place to have it and what kind of "theme" and who to invite et cetera. In the end, a simple good meal with the family would be more than enough. No need to spend so much since there'll be many more birthdays to come. Baby shall not be spoilt. Haha. 

Nineteen days to baby girl turning one. 

May-June-July : Vanessa - Rachel/Kah Wei - Koay.

6. Burnt Cemetery.
Cheng Beng is an occasion where people get together at a deceased family member's grave and do things of their own belief. 

Even after accepting Christ, my whole family makes sure that we are always present. It's one of those occasion where we meet-up with our cousins, uncles and aunties and we just bond. The rest will pray, burn paper-clothes/car/watch/money and wait till everything is done. For us, we always sit by the stairs and hold the umbrellas. 

It has always been like 30 plus of us going to grandma's "garden" every year. As our family keep growing, there's more and more coming. So lau juakk. Syiookkk.

7. Candy Crush.
Yes, still actively playing this. I won't say I'm addicted to it I think. It's just that everytime I pass a level that took me two months plus, it felt so good and makes me want to keep going up and then when I'm stuck, I will like get angry a while then back to it again.

I wonder how it's going to take to make me stop completely. Playing on the goldii super nice sumore. 

8. Kim Chi.
Almost everytime I eat at home now, I will need to eat my rice with kimchi. 

9. Winter Wonderland.
No idea about spring and autumn, but so far, I am loving winter to the core-st of my core. One thing I miss most is winter. Serious. I don't know how else to show my love towards winter. Maybe if I name my daughter 'Winter'? 

Crazy girl.

A Night Up There.

I couldn't make it to attend the entire retreat this year, although initially I thought it was going to be possible since none from the Sales team took leaves. 

Manatau, suddenly straight two of them took a whole week off and their case more important. Both already got flight tickets bought. One to Beijing and the other to Perth.


So, the best I could do is spend the second night there and leave early in the morning straight to work, which is exactly what I did. 


Tiring, yes. Lack of sleep, definitely.


Worth it because it took my mind away from work and those laughter cured my headaches. Get to escape the heat down there for a while too. 


Veryyy good :)



Finding out our spiritual gifts. It's different than our natural talents.

Lesson learnt: Never put in not-that-hot-water into milo because it taste funny and un-milo. Just be patient and wait for the other kettle to boil. Just wait. Killed one lalat since it was buzzing around me like no one's business. Straight trapped it into my mug, only to realize that still got milo in there. 

 Supper time! Who opens cup noodles like that? Just poke through it with the thumb. 

I hope you guessed it right before scrolling down. Haha. Actually, I was quite shocked with this "habit" of his. First time I see people open cup noodles like that. FIRST TIME. Oh and he's like so normal and proud of it. Me, I was at the verge of killing him! Okaylah, not that serious BUT I ALWAYS WANT TO OPEN THE LID NICELY SO IT WILL BE LIKE A PERFECT CIRCLE! 

It wasn't a pleasant, long, undisturbed sleep here. I kept waking up at night, no idea why. I was the first one to go out at 630am only to see a dark sky. Went out again at 7am and such beautiful colors I see. No one else was awake. Minutes later, Koay walked out and we both sat at the bench, just staring blankly. It feels good to have spent that few minutes in the quiet, next to each other. It was good :)

I can do these kind of things, attend the same old thing year in year out, go to the same place for the same reason and I will still have excitement in my heart.

It has been 12 good years :)

Goodnight MH370.


We are not giving up just yet. 
Praying for the families and friends during this very difficult time. 
I can only imagine how it must have felt like waiting everyday for a pinch of hope but in the end, it was just another news that confirms the greatest fear.

MH370, please be found. 
Whether there are survivors or not, finding the plane or the black box will give at least some sort of closure.
PLEASE BE FOUND.

Time-Off.

It has been almost three weeks since the holiday.

I think I should start planning for the next one soon. The ideal thing to do would be a short getaway once every month, and since money is an issue, we shall plan for a budget trip, but where. BUT WHERE.

This year, we've got so many plans that we want to make sure we do it.

Like hike up Mount KK and getting scuba diving license in Perhentian Island.

The two tops the holiday priority list this year. Maybe visit Singapore Zoo also but this one is more like MINE, not so much for him since he not really a big fan of the zoo. 

Problem is money and time and annual leave.

Quite stressful.

Oh! And one more problem. Finding people to go with us. This is one is susah-est of all.

Never mind. I shall remain positive about this whole thing since we still have eight/nine months to plan. 

March has got to be the busiest month yet. Apparently, we are expecting April to be busier than this month. That's a bit too scary to think of.

On another note, it is a sad thing that I couldn't make it to Leadership Retreat this year. Today actually. I don't think I've ever missed any for the past 12 years. Err... Okay, maybe I did some of the years. 

What made it worse is that everyone is there! EVERYONE! Even Koay is there. He just called and looks like it's pretty cold up there. Ahhh. This is such mean torture.

I NEED A RETREAT!
